How does Edge Computing empower your staff to get better results?
Workload Consolidation
With Edge Computing, you can consolidate multiple physical assets into a single, more advanced, virtualized Edge Computer or server. Fewer devices deployed means fewer devices to maintain and operate, less panel space and wiring required, and the availability of all your software assets in a single redundant and industrially hardened Edge device. One device makes it easier to implement solutions in industries requiring GMP, validation, and regulation.
Operational Resilience
Your software is only as good as the platform it runs on. Your mission-critical applications need a platform that prevents unplanned downtime. You need an Edge platform that provides redundancy and is easy to implement, a ruggedized Edge platform you can install in harsh environments (temperature, vibration, humidity, Class I Division 2), a platform you can install in a control panel together with the PLCs, drives, and other control equipment, and a platform that helps secure your control infrastructure from cyber-attack.
An architecture based on Edge Computing platforms…
- Provides local control and monitoring at the machine or process area
- Consolidates multiple solutions and connects with your plant control architecture and cloud
- Operates in remote and hazardous environments
- Improves resiliency and downtime prevention
It’s all about empowerment
Edge Computing also allows you to extend operations using remote mobile devices. This is key in that it enables you to empower your staff and get better results.
Edge Computing platforms have built-in virtualization making it easy to install and run a Remote Desktop Server (RDS) that enables users to use their automation and control software as interactive sessions on a remote computer or mobile device over a network connection.
Create complex digitalization projects
Let’s look at some of the advantages of using RDS with clients for your automation and control architectures.
- You can break free from the control room, command center, and control panel confines and use your mobile devices for automation and control
- Your staff is empowered with easy access to any component of your operations and maintenance wherever they are and whatever device they want to use
